Snow Turkeys
Hello again.
This video is from mid Feb 2020. I dont think Covid has hit yet.
The turkeys arent social distancing.

Creatures which herd or flocktheyre most susceptible to such diseases. Contagions.
Not sure what the story is with Two-Legs, though.
Allegory eZine Published “The Boy Who Loved Horses”
Im honored, Im flattered, Im thrilled, and I hope everyone enjoys reading it.
The Boy Who Loved Horses is based on time spent working in the Kentucky Appalachians. Truly beautiful country with truly wonderful people who understood the meaning of community.
